Public food image datasets have primarily focused on recognition or segmentation, with limited resources for comprehensive nutrition analysis, particularly for Chinese cuisine which exhibits high nutritional variability due to diverse cooking methods and regional influences. To address this gap, we introduce a multimodal food image dataset designed to support full-cycle nutritional analysis, including segmentation, category recognition, and nutrient content estimation, tailored specifically to diabetic diets. This dataset is aligned with clinical data from Chinese diabetes cohorts to facilitate accurate dietary management and glucose prediction. It provides a valuable resource for advancing computational methods in meal-level nutrition assessment for diabetic populations.
